Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

[Bacle]

What I mean is don't have cry fests and lose our minds if he loses. None of this REEEEEEEE crap that the left does.

Approach it soberly and smart. Immediately start focusing on rooting out the fraud, challenging the democrats, and start working to take/keep house and senate in 2020.

I think you mean 2022 in that last bit.

As for the rest...sorry, but the fact is the way the Dems have been talking they will pack SCOTUS, abolish the electoral college, strip away the 2nd Amendment, and do everything in their power to remove any Constitutional barriers preventing them from perpetual 1 party rule, and likely get it done before the 2022 elections. Because I do not see a scenario where Trump loses and the GOP keeps control of the Senate or takes the House. So the only lever the Right would have is SCOTUS and the Dems are already planning to pack it.

I get wanting to seem calm and sober as a counter point to what the Dems acted like in 2016, if Trump loses. But the fact is, if he does, the Dems will destroy the GOPs ability to have ANY power going forward. This election if for all the marbles; the GOP and Trump supporters are fighting for survival, and not just political survival; the Dems are simply fighting for the power to make a continuous 1-party state.

We have no future if Biden wins, particularly people like you and me who are ex-Dems that will be seen as 'traitors' even more than life-long Republicans. I get this is not what you want to think or say, and that trying to be 'graceful' about a Trump losing seems the 'right' thing to do. But the fact is we won't have a Republic if Trump loses, and Trump supporters will be targeted for revenge/'re-education' by the new regime. There will be a large amount of the Left who want us driven from society entirely, and their politicians will allow it while the media and big tech will assist it. They already are willing to tell cops to stand down and let cities be destroyed to appease the Leftist mob, you think they won't do the same if Antifa/BLM start going after Trump supporters more than they already do and will feel they have the Swamps blessing to do so?

I'm not trying to be doomery or hysterical, I'm just reading the way the Left has been acting/talking for years now, and how it's only gotten even worse recently.

Will be a bit hard to be calm if Biden wins, since this country would become yet another socialist shithole.

Constitutional Amendments require a 2/3rds majority, so there's actually no risk of a lot of that.

 

[Abhorsen]

Constitutional Amendments require a 2/3rds majority, so there's actually no risk of a lot of that.

No, all you need is to pack the courts (which is constitutional) and then create a new state out of DC by calling it something different.

 

[Bacle]

Constitutional Amendments require a 2/3rds majority, so there's actually no risk of a lot of that.

The thing is, if Biden wins (or more like Harris wins via Biden), then there is a very good chance the Dems will have the Senate and House under control as well. Which leads to:

No, all you need is to pack the courts (which is constitutional) and then create a new state out of DC by calling it something different.

Yeah, the Dems will pack SCOTUS, and they will use a packed court to redefine/reinterpret the Constitution in ways that effectively override the Amendment process and will allow them to create a 1-party state and doing everyhting to make sure the GOP cannot gain Fedrral level, or probably even State level power, ever again.

That is why this election the Republic either is revived under Trump, after the Crossfire Hurricane hoax broke the peaceful transition of power and put it on life-support, or it dies and the Dems make a socialist zombie out of it's corpse.

 

[Vaermina]

Which still wouldn't give them the super majority needed to call a constitutional convention.

Contrary to what the far left might think, packing the supreme court is a nuclear option for most of the actual politicians in power.

Because doing so would cost the Democrats a significant portion of the Independent and Centrist vote come 2022 and 2024. At which point the Republicans would pack it the opposite way, and then because they would almost assuredly have the majority needed, pass something to make it so nobody else can pack the courts.

You assume they won't abolish the Electoral College via the Nat'l Popular Vote Compact, before the 2024 election.

That is a dangerous assumption, in these times.

The Dems want to remove as many barriers as they can to their desired 1-party rule, and if they have the White House, House, and Senate, there is very little they could not do.

Congress and the Senate have no power in concerns to that, only the states themselves do.

And most aren't signing on.

We'll see, I know it's on the ballot here in CO this years, and it's probably on the ballot other places as well.

And do not underestimate how far the Dems are willing to go, and how many laws/Constitutional protections they will smash/ignore, in their quest for perpetual 1-party rule.

And do not underestimate how many people on the Left feel the same way.

Our one chance to stop this is Trump winning, and we need to be hoping/praying everyday that he does.

[Knowledgeispower]

About the only thing they do have power as related to it is the fact that interstate compacts need the approval of Congress to be legally binding and for this particular one that probably wouldn't be enough to prevent it from being nuked by the courts for various reasons

Let's hope for a Red wave on election day.

A lot of things are on the ballot, but that's just the middle step of such things.

Yup, and even that would likely end up with a big old pile of legal challanges since majority rule tends to be really really bad for minorities.

 

[AnimalNoodles]

Tim Pool is a centrist which allows him to cover things the establishment press will not, while avoiding the taboo of "right wing" as a boogey label, which means his viewers will be exposed to truths the PTB would rather not be exposed.

So...he's dangerous.

Notice the continual emphasis placed on "young white men". You know the people the press, left, NGOS, academia, all demonize and celebrate the demise of.

What they really fear is a...reawakening and a revolutionary movement.

Thats a prank article.

 

[Deleted member 88]

Thats a prank article.

Ah...well makes sense.

Still my point wasn’t refuted.

 

[LifeisTiresome]

Can I have your opinion on whats going on in this thread:

If its ok with you?

It appears strange to me that the whole ballot and vote manipulation that's already been discovered hasn't created bigger waves. I mean, in a functioning first world democracy like the US that should be filling the No. 1 pages of all national newspapers (right next to the Hunter Biden stuff)...

Because the news media is bought and owned by the Dems, who have been chanting 'voter fraud isn't real' for years.

Thus anytime it comes up, it's either not reported, or minimized/manipulated to seem minimal by the media.

Doesn't help that the Post Office has basically become a Dem institution the last few years, and they control the ballots in many ways. That old Seinfeld episode about Kramer getting in hot with the post office is truer to reality than many would like.

I have seen leftists say that vote manipulation doesn't exist. News will not say anything unless Biden loses then they will mention it and blame it on Trump.
